TECHNICAL FIELD
The object of the present invention is a method of diagnosis of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) or glomerulopathy. The present invention further relates to a method of monitoring response to treatment against a chronic kidney disease (CKD) or glomerulopathy. The present invention further relates to a method of treatment of a chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy.
BACKGROUND ART
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects >10% of the world’s population and glomerulopathies are a leading cause of CKD. The prevalence of CKD is different worldwide, up to 14,2% in the USA, 10,2% in Norway, and 11 ,9% in Poland. Increasing prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation, represents a global public health problem. ESRD is associated with high morbidity and mortality and renal replacement therapies represent a costly burden for health care systems. It is estimated that over 4 million people in Poland suffer from CKD and the number of patients with ESRD on dialysis in Poland exceeds 19 000, in addition to 18 000 renal transplant recipients. Both early stages of CKD and ESRD are associated with high morbidity and increased healthcare utilization. Therefore, the IgAN - the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, MN - one of the most common reason of nephrotic syndrome and LN - one of the most common secondary glomerulopathy, are the focus of attention of researchers, clinicians and healthcare providers.
Most forms of glomerulopathy can progress to CKD, especially if not treated early when the disease process is most active. Acquiring knowledge on the pathophysiology of glomerular diseases is an important step enabling development of new diagnosis and treatment tools.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular kidney disease (20%) that frequently leads to ESRD, yet its aetiology remains poorly understood. The disease typically presents in the 2nd - 4th decade of life. The individuals affected by IgAN develop characteristic IgA-containing antibody complexes that deposit in the kidney producing tissue injury. Kidney biopsy with histopathologic evaluation is the best available method to diagnose IgAN. IgAN is a genetically complex trait, and not much is known about its pathogenesis and pathophysiology. Therefore, treatment options are presently limited and mostly empiric. A pressing need exists for personalizing the medical care and finding new molecularly targeted therapies in these diseases.
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the main causes of nephrotic syndrome, affecting mostly people between ages of 30 and 50 years. Recent years brought a huge progress in the field of non-invasive diagnostics, mainly due to the PLA2R antibody use in diagnostics and follow-up of primary MN. However, our understanding of MN is far from complete, especially that PLA2R-antibodies are found only in approximately 60-70% of all cases.
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a result of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and is said to be secondary and has a different pattern and outcome from conditions with a primary cause originating in the kidney.
The symptoms of all above mentioned glomerulopathies are highly variable including e.g. erythrocyturia, hematuria, proteinuria of different levels or progressive loss of renal function. Additional problems in diagnostics are caused by various distracting factors. For example, for a patient over 65, proteinuria in a non-nephrotic range may actually have other causes, such as vasculitis. Currently, kidney biopsy is the only way to make the diagnosis. However, this procedure is markedly invasive and may frequently cause adverse effects and in severe cases even result in patient’s death. About 5-10% of patients still have inconclusive results even after biopsy. Furthermore, in about 1/3 of MN cases, an idiopathic remission occurs after some period of time. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a diagnostic method that would be quicker, easier, more reliable and less invasive.
One other possible diagnostic tool is determination of glomerular filtration rate. It is however not an efficient prognostic tool, since by itself it cannot provide an early answer as to how quickly a patient’s condition may deteriorate.
Additionally, there is no readily available method of monitoring a patient’s condition and/or monitoring response to treatment over time.
All of glomerular diseases are highly heterogeneous and genetically complex. Genome-wide association and linkage studies described, e.g. in IgAN, several susceptibility loci. However, the protein expression and production are most directly associated with pathophysiology of the certain disease. Genetic studies of IgAN have provided a glimpse into pathogenesis and identified molecular candidates for disease (Kiryluk K, Novak J, Gharavi AG. Pathogenesis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy: recent insight from genetic studies. Ann Rev Med. 2013; 64: 339-356). Kiryluk et al., also in collaboration with the inventors of the present application, has recently completed and published (Gharavi AG, Kiryluk K, Choi M, et al. Genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for IgA nephropathy. Nat Genet. 2011 ; 43: 321 - 327) a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of IgAN in 20,650 individuals. In this large international study, 15 inherited genetic factors were identified that were strongly associated with the disease risk. The worldwide distribution of these factors closely paralleled the variation
in IgAN occurrence across continents. Moreover, individuals who were born with a greater number of risk alleles had an earlier onset of kidney disease and were at a higher lifetime risk of developing ESRD. Additionally, their findings identified genetic defects in the immune system that are responsible for defence against mucosal infections, thus are central to the disease progression.
Despite the extensive datasets provided by genetic approaches, the information related to proteins is much closer to the functional changes that occur in pathophysiology of IgAN, MN and other glomerulopathies. These genetic findings need to be linked to the protein level of changes and to the clinical course of the disease. One of the most promising diagnostic tools is urine proteomics, particularly because the biological material can be obtained easily and comes directly from the diseased organ, the kidney. Indeed, it was previously reported that the presence of urinary proteins is indicative of glomerular damage and interstitial fibrosis.
Therefore, in parallel to the genetic studies, for the last several years the present inventors have participated in proteomic analysis of urine, also from IgAN patients (Mucha K, Bakun M, Jazwiec R, et al. Complement components, proteolysis- and cell communication-related proteins detected in the urine proteomics are associated with IgA nephropathy. Pol Arch Med Wewn. 2014, 124(7-8): 380-6).
During the last decade several studies that link proteomics and IgAN were published and range pallet of urine proteins considered to be specific for IgAN were proposed. However, methodological differences in urine collection and processing, small sample size, and patient heterogeneity, might have biased many of these studies.
Currently, the -omics approaches are considered to be one of the most promising methods for describing the pathophysiology of diseases. In a proteomic study workflow, proteins identified in global-type discovery experiments (e.g., label-free, iTRAQ or TMT) need to be verified by methods capable of accurate quantitation and high sensitivity. Also, targeted proteomics has an excellent potential to replace classical immunochemical methods in many diagnostic usages. One of the approaches in the analysis of biological samples is using multiplexed peptide panels with targeted mass spectrometry-based methods (multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)) for the accurate and sensitive quantitation of specific proteins. In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in demand for service using targeted MS methods such as MRM and PRM assays for biomarker verification and validation, and when a highly sensitive and accurate protein measurement is required in hypothesis-driven experiments. Compared to antibody-based assays these methods, combined with stable-isotope-labelled standard peptides, are characterized by higher analytical specificity, higher precision, a wider dynamic range, and the possibility of measuring
numerous proteins within a single rapid analysis in large sample sets (Gillette MA; Carr SA. Quantitative analysis of peptides and proteins in biomedicine by targeted mass spectrometry. Nat. Methods 2013; 10 (1): 28-34; Domanski D et al., MRM-based multiplexed quantitation of 67 putative cardiovascular disease biomarkers in human plasma. Proteomics. 2012; 12(8): 1222-43; Chen YT, Chen HW, Domahski D et al. Multiplexed quantification of 63 proteins in human urine by multiple reaction monitoring-based mass spectrometry for discovery of potential bladder cancer biomarkers. J Proteomics. 2012; 75: 3529-3245; Garcia-Bailo B et al. Dietary patterns and ethnicity are associated with distinct plasma proteomic groups. Am J Clin Nutr. 2012; 95(2): 352-61). MRM is the method of choice to verify results from discovery experiments, to validate discovered biomarkers or to measure proteins accurately and with high sensitivity in a single multiplexed assay. MRM is also increasingly substituting traditional analytical approaches based on antibody affinity as demonstrated in the improved clinical measurement of serum thyroglobulin in differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with interfering endogenous autoantibodies. Antibody-based tests, like the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), also do not easily multiplex and can suffer from phenomena which underreport high-target samples (hook effect) which is of particular concern in tumor marker assays where the concentration may range over several orders of magnitude. These advantages have made targeted MS methods ideal for biomarker assessment and validation, they have seen an increase in use in clinical proteomics and have been deemed key for bridging biomedical discovery and clinical implementation as expressed in the Nature Methods "Method of the Year" article (Vivien M. Targeted proteomics. Nature Methods. 2013; 10 (1): 19-22).
MRM methods coupled with peptide standards allow for unequivocal identification and quantification of proteins with very low probability of false positive results. In a single one-hour long analysis a panel of several (>300) peptides can be quantitated allowing for the multiplexed analysis of many targets within an experiment that can extend into thousands of samples. Recently, the quantitation of 142 proteins in human plasma was demonstrated in a single analysis with a wide dynamic range of measurement ranging from high mg/mL concentrations to very low abundance targets in the low ng/mL range (Percy AJ, Chambers AG, Yang J, Hardie DB, Borchers CH. Advances in multiplexed MRM-based protein biomarker quantitation toward clinical utility. Biochim Biophys Acta. 2014; 1844: 917-926). This contrasts with techniques as ELISA which usually allow the analysis of a single compound in one experiment and underlines the favourable economics of targeted MS methods especially for protein targets for which no antibodies are available and whose development requires a significantly greater amount of time and money. Beyond effectively verifying biomarkers in clinical research it is also likely that targeted MS methods will within the next few years start to replace the old but
currently the gold-standard in clinical assays, the ELISA, as MS equipment slowly becomes certified for clinical use and becomes increasingly more sensitive ( Domahski D, Smith DS, Miller CA et al. High-flow multiplexed MRM-based analysis of proteins in human plasma without depletion or enrichment. Clin Lab Med. 2011 ; 31 : 371 -84). This shift will especially occur quickly for proteins where interferences in the immunoassay are known (e.g. quantification of thyroglobulin), or where the immuno-based reagents do not exist or are of insufficient quality, and where the analyte is a specific isoform or modified protein indistinguishable by antibody-based assays.
Methods for kidney disease detection by protein profiling are known in the prior art. For example, W02003002757 (A1) relates to improved methods of detecting an early stage of renal disease and/or renal complications of a disease, particularly diabetes, and discloses a1 acid glycoprotein (also known as orosomucoid) that is used in a method for diagnosing a renal disease and/or renal complications of a disease in a subject.

Serum albumin (Uniprot ID P02768) is the most abundant blood protein in mammals. Albumin is essential for maintaining the oncotic pressure needed for proper distribution of body fluids between blood vessels and body tissues. It also acts as a plasma carrier by non-specifically binding several hydrophobic steroid hormones and as a transport protein for hemin and fatty acids.
Apha-1 -antitrypsin (Uniprot ID P01009) is a protease inhibitor and it is a single-chain glycoprotein consisting of 394 amino acids. It protects tissues from enzymes of inflammatory
cells, especially neutrophil elastase. Besides limiting elastase activity to limit tissue degradation, the inhibitor also acts to induce locomotion of lymphocytes through tissue including immature T cells through the thymus where immature T cells mature to become immunocompetent T cells that are released into tissue to elevate immune responsiveness.
Alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (Uniprot ID P02763), also referred to as Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1), is a 41 -43-kDa glycoprotein encoded by the gene localized in human genome at 9q32 (by Entrez Gene). In humans, the peptide moiety is a single chain of 201 amino acids of 23.5 kDa of molecular weight. Carbohydrates constitute approximately the remaining 45% of the molecular weight of the posttranslationally modified protein, attached in the form of five to six highly sialylated complex-type-N-linked glycans. AGP1 belongs to the family of acute phase proteins. Accordingly, its serum concentration increases in response to systemic tissue injury, inflammation or infection. This increase in serum concentration results primarily from an elevated protein production in liver, as a part of an acute phase response. Expression of the AGP1 gene is a subject of regulation by a combination of the major regulatory mediators of an acute phase response, i.e. a cytokine network containing mainly interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-6 and a range of IL-6-related cytokines as well as glucocorticoids. The biological function of AGP1 is not clear. The main known ability of AGP1 is to bind and to carry numerous basic and neutral lipophilic drugs from endogenous (e.g. steroid hormones) and exogenous (such as phenobarbital) origin. The primary factor influencing the immunomodulatory or the binding activities of AGP1 is related to the composition of carbohydrates bound to AGP1 polypeptide.
Serotransferrin (TF) (Uniprot ID P02787), also referred to as transferrin or siderophilin, is a ~80 kDa acute-phase serum glycoprotein responsible for transportation of Fe3+ ions from sites of absorption and heme degradation to the sites of storage or degradation. The main site of production is liver, but this protein can be also produced in peripheral tissues. Serotransferrin plays a role in multiple processes in human body. In nephrotic syndrome, urinary loss of transferrin can be one of the causative mechanisms for an iron-resistant microcytic anemia. Used as a urine biomarker, serotransferrin has been reported one of the predictors of renal functional decline in lupus nephritis (see Abulaban KM et al. Lupus. 2016, in press).
Trefoil factor 1 (TFF) (Uniprot ID P04155) is a member of a group of stable secretory proteins expressed in gastrointestinal mucosa. Their functions are not defined, but they are thought to play an important role in maintenance and protection of mucosal surfaces in the gastrointestinal tract through an interaction with mucins, enhancement of “restitution” (i.e., rapid mucosal repair by cell migration), modulation of mucosal regeneration by differentiation from stem cells, and modulation of the mucosal immune response. The TFF gene, which is
expressed in the gastric mucosa, has also been studied because of its expression in human tumors. This gene and two other related trefoil family member genes are found in a cluster on chromosome 21 .
The term ‘expression’ as used herein refers to amounts or levels of said markers (proteins) or concentrations thereof in a urine sample. The skilled person is aware of numerous methods capable of measuring expression and/or protein levels in a sample, such as, but not limited to, Western blot methods, immunological methods, ELISA, chromatography, mass spectrometry etc. One of the approaches in the analysis of biological samples is using multiplexed peptide panels with targeted mass spectrometry-based methods (multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)) for the accurate and sensitive quantitation of specific proteins.

In said method of the invention, an urine sample collected from a subject is analysed, wherein said analysis usually comprises a step of separating all the solid parts from the sample, for example by filtration, centrifuging, or any other suitable method, and subsequently a step of identification of markers.
Determination of the level in step (a) can be performed by any of the suitable methods known in the art.
The presence of the abovementioned markers in the urine sample in the method of the invention and the level of each of these markers can be preferably determined by mass spectrometry (MS). In this aspect of the invention, the amino acid sequence can be identified based mass-to-charge ratio used to generate high-resolution mass spectra. An example of that method is presented in Example 1 below. In preferred aspect of this invention a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can be used as it was previously described, for example, in Aebersold R and Mann M, Nature, 2003, 422(6928), 198-207, and in Yates III J. R., Annual Review of Biophysics and Biomolecular Structure, 2004, 33, 297-316. Alternatively, different MS based technics can also be used to identify the above identified combinations of markers in urine samples (such as MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption) imaging mass spectrometry

In another embodiment, the level of the abovementioned markers, can be identified in said urine sample by ELISA-based methods, including microfluidic ELISA, protein electrophoresis and Western blotting, including microfluidic electrophoresis and Western blotting using capillary electrophoresis. These methods are well known in the art.
Ultrasensitive microfluidic solid-phase ELISA was reported and described, for example, in Lab Chip 2013; 13(21), 4190-4197. This method is useful in rapid and ultrasensitive quantitative detection of low abundance proteins. The microwell-based solid-phase ELISA strategy provides an expandable platform for developing the next-generation microfluidic immunoassay systems that integrate and automate digital and analog measurements to further improve the sensitivity, dynamic ranges, and reproducibility of proteomic analysis.
The other method, Microfluidic Electrophoresis Assays for Rapid Characterization of Protein, was characterized and discussed in Science/AAAS audio webinar (14.11.2012) by Dr. Joey Studts from Boehringer Ingelheim in Germany, Dr. Timothy Blanc from ImClone Systems in Branchburg, New Jersey, and Dr. Bahram Fathollahi from PerkinElmer in San Francisco, California. What was discussed there concerned the application of high throughput microfluidic technologies to the analysis of biotherapeutic proteins. These microfluidic-based assays provide a good solution because they address the limitations of SDS-PAGE, as well as other separation assays that depend on conventional capillary electrophoresis in particularly analysis time, which can be reduced to a minute or less per sample. Advantages include miniaturization, integration, and automation, which enable labs to perform experiments at a rapid turnaround time, thus faster analytical analysis to reduce time and expense in the process development.
In publication Anal Chem. 2011 ; 83(4), 1350-1355 a microscale Western blotting system based on separating sodium-dodecyl sulfate protein complexes by capillary gel electrophoresis followed by deposition onto a blotting membrane for immunoassay was described by Anderson et al. In the system, the separation capillary is grounded through a sheath capillary to a mobile X-Y translation stage, which moves a blotting membrane past the capillary outlet for protein deposition. The obtained results demonstrate substantial reduction in time requirements and improvement in mass sensitivity compared to conventional Western blots.

The methods of the present invention may in particular additionally comprise the following:
(a)’ determination of the level of at least three or four or five protein markers selected from the group consisting of serum albumin (ALB), alpha-1 -antitrypsin (serpinal), alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1), serotransferrin (TF) and trefoil factor 1 (TFF), wherein said markers also comprise the non-full-length fragments thereof, in a urine sample from said subject and
(b)’ assigning a probability of the subject having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy based on the results of the assay of step (a). Step (b)’ may be done e.g. by comparing the values obtained in (a) with mean values obtained for urine sample(s) derived from a healthy subject (i.e. not suffering from chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy).
Step (b)’ may also or alternatively be done e.g. by comparing the values obtained in (a) with mean values obtained for urine sample(s) derived from subjects with known particular glomerulopathy(/ies).
Determination in step (a)’ may be performed using mass spectrometry (MS).
Step (a)’ may involve determination of the level of all five protein markers serum albumin (ALB), alpha- 1 -antitrypsin (serpinal), alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1), serotransferrin (TF) and trefoil factor 1 (TFF). The probability of the subject having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy may be assigned in step (b)’ using the following formula: wherein:
E = 17.204550857965 - 5.75799550569336 * 10-10 * x1 - 9.37976121221068 * 10-9 * x2 + 1 .32966288022553 * 10-8 * x3 + 2.5638225555611 * 10-8 * x4 + 4.03113433888467 * 10-7 * x5; wherein x1 is the determined level for Serum albumin (ALB); x2 is the determined level for alpha- 1 -antitrypsin (serpinal ); x3 is the determined level for alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1); x4 is the determined level for serotransferrin (TF); x5 is the determined level for Trefoil factor 1 (TFF1).
The level of each marker may be determined, for example, by mass spectrometry (e.g. as signal intensity).
The diagnostic approach as provided herein may involve two parts.
In the first part, the aim is to ascertain whether a sample is derived from a healthy subject or a subject having a disease, the disease being chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy. This part may be performed as follows:
- a urine sample form a subject is analysed and the level of at least three or four or five protein markers selected from the group consisting of serum albumin (ALB), alpha-1 -antitrypsin (serpinal ), alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1 ), serotransferrin (TF) and trefoil factor 1 (TFF) is evaluated; the level of the abovementioned protein markers may be measured with any suitable method known in the art, as described hereinabove, preferably by mass spectrometry, wherein said markers also comprise the non-full-length fragments thereof.
- the probability of the subject having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy is assigned using the following formula:
wherein:
E = 17.204550857965 - 5.75799550569336 * 10-10 * x1 - 9.37976121221068 * 10-9 * x2 + 1 .32966288022553 * 10-8 * x3 + 2.5638225555611 * 10-8 * x4 + 4.03113433888467 * 10-7 * x5; wherein x1 is the determined level for Serum albumin (ALB; P02768); x2 is the determined level for alpha-1 -antitrypsin (serpinal ; P01009); x3 is the determined level for alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1 ; P02763); x4 is the determined level for serotransferrin (TF; P0278); x5 is the determined level for Trefoil factor 1 (TFF1 ; P04155).
The diagnostics and probability calculation as explained above (and as shown in the Examples herein) can be performed utilizing any of the markers listed above, as all of them were found
to have a connection with the diagnosed conditions. The protein markers found to be the most significant or most convenient to use in the methods of the present invention are also disclosed and claimed herein. The present invention also relates to preferred variant of the method, wherein the formula
wherein:
E = 17.204550857965 - 5.75799550569336 * 10-10 * x1 - 9.37976121221068 * 10-9 * x2 + 1 .32966288022553 * 10-8 * x3 + 2.5638225555611 * 10-8 * x4 + 4.03113433888467 * 10-7 * x5; wherein x1 is the determined level for Serum albumin (ALB); x2 is the determined level for alpha- 1 -antitrypsin (serpinal ); x3 is the determined level for alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1); x4 is the determined level for serotransferrin (TF); x5 is the determined level for Trefoil factor 1 (TFF1); is employed for probability calculation.
The result in this part allows classification of the sample as either derived form a healthy subject or as derived from a subject having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy.
In the second part of the diagnostic approach, a sample determined to be derived from a subject having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy, may be further classified into one of pre-determined groups using the method of the present invention. This may be done using a decision tree, such as provided on Fig. 7. In this example, in each step a decision is made using the measured level of the indicated protein marker and a subsequent calculation step is selected based on the result of the preceding step. For example, a result of P02787 (TF) as obtained by mass spectrometry is >= 8.4e+10. This directs to the left arm in the tree on Fig. 7. A simultaneous result for P02763 being < 4.0e+10, indicates that the sample is derived from a subject suffering from or at a risk of having IgAN (Group 3).
In an embodiment, other parameters may additionally be used to assist diagnosis. In the art, glomerulonephritis can be suspected based on the e.g.: a) anamnesis; b) additional (mainly blood and urine) tests, including the occurrence of erythro- or hematuria, but especially c) proteinuria of varying severity. If the latter is present, the first step is to confirm the glomerular origin of proteinuria.
The method of the present invention, may first, based on the coexistence of five defined and selected proteins (serum albumin (ALB), alpha- 1 -antitrypsin (serpinal), alpha-1 -acid
glycoprotein 1 (ORM1), serotransferrin (TF) and trefoil factor 1 (TFF)), enable to distinguish patients with any of IgAN or MN or LN, or patients with possible other diseases, from healthy individuals (see Fig. 6, panel A). The advantage of the present methods is that, the negative result of the test, actually (in almost 98%) excludes the diagnosis of IgAN or MN or LN which increases the accuracy of diagnosis in comparison to routine urine test. Moreover the results are independent from the extent of proteinuria. This is one of the advantages of the present methodology comparing to routine urinalysis. In the clinical setting, this methodology might enable to set the final diagnosis in patients with the suspicion of glomerulonephritis, without the need of kidney biopsy.
The next stage, based on the additional analysis of the selected proteins from the entire panel as shown in the method of the present invention, may involve distinguishing IgAN from MN and from LN (Fig 6, panel B and Fig. 7), without the need of kidney biopsy.
It should be emphasized that the primary difference between the tests already carried out and the current approach according to the present invention, is the transition from the assessment of the pooled urine samples to the individual evaluation of each protein in a given patient or a healthy person and a direct correlation of these results with the known clinical parameters in each case.
Thus, the current methods fit perfectly into the trend of 'personalized medicine', allowing precise correlation of the data obtained in the course of the current project with a retrospective assessment of each individual patient.
In summary, the method of the present invention provides a unique opportunity to better understand the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of IgAN, MN and LN and other glomerulopathies.
The analysis performed in the study as described in the present invention provides a new, specific method for diagnosing, monitoring and treating IgAN, MN, LN and other glomerulopathies. Indeed, in addition to substantial cognitive value, the current method is of practical importance in the diagnosis and monitoring of IgAN, MN and LN patients, e.g. by reducing the need for renal biopsy. As a result, this should improve the quality of life of patients. Given mentioned at the outset epidemiology of CKD and the related health care costs, this may also translate into the health care system savings.
The present model provides a template to evaluate a given subject’s probability of having a particular glomerulopathy. The evaluation may involve assessing the subject’s urine level of a first marker, determining the probability of the subject having each of the assessed conditions
(IgAN, MN or LS) based on the present model, and then assessing the subject’s urine level of a second marker determining the probability of the subject having each of the assessed conditions (IgAN, MN or LS) based on the present model, and so on, for next markers as needed. The final probability of each glomerulopathy for that particular subject can then be calculated as a multiplication product of the corresponding probabilities obtained from each marker.
The diagnostics and probability calculation as explained above (and as shown in the Examples herein) can be performed utilizing any of the markers listed above, as all of them were found to have a connection with the diagnosed conditions. The protein markers found to be the most significant or most convenient to use in the methods of the present invention are also disclosed and claimed herein.
The present inventors have also found that it is important that protein markers are analysed in a urine sample obtained from a midstream of the second- or third-morning (SPOT) sample and not from first morning samples. SPOT samples were found to provide for MS measurements with a higher prognostic and diagnostic value.
It should be noted that in the described methods, detection and quantitative analysis is based on so-called “tryptic peptides”. In other words, not the intact proteins present in the basic biological material are analysed, but their derivatives. Protein mixture obtained from the urine sample is digested in vitro with a mixture of enzymatic proteases, such as LysC and Trypsin. Both of the abovementioned proteases are recognizing specific amino acids, lysine and arginine, in protein sequences and hydrolysing peptide bonds in the positions. The resulting mixture of peptides is called “tryptic peptides” and it’s artificially created by this process. Those peptides (protein fragments) are not present in the physiological conditions in urine. It is in principle possible, that a protein can by digested in vivo in human urinary tract with other proteases. However, such proteins will have a different digestion pattern and peptides with a non-specific tryptic sequence are not included in panel analysis in the methods of the present invention.

EXAMPLES
Example 1. Urinary proteomic markers for membranous nephropathy (MN)
Methods
This study included patients with biopsy-proven MN (25) and healthy controls (7). Urine samples were obtained from a midstream of the second- or third-morning (SPOT) sample. The samples were processed up to 2 h after collection and stored at -80 °C for further measurements with MS. The results were related to demographic data, standard laboratory tests and GFR estimated with use of Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
Results
The signal intensity from A1 BG, ORM-1 , FTL and TF was found to be higher in MN patients than in controls. According to MS, MN patients had significantly (p < 0.05) elevated signal of A1 BG, ORM-1 and TF comparing to controls (Fig. 1). Mass spectrometry, according to the specific amino-acids fragments of each tested protein, confirmed the differences between tested and control group. Additionally, statistically significant differences exist between patients with different types of glomerulonephritides.
The signal intensity of A1 BG, ORM-1 , FTL and TF are elevated in MN and vary depending on types of nephropathies. This observation suggests their differential roles in the pathophysiology of the given disease, and its possible application as a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic marker.
Example 2. Correlation of AGFR and a protein marker
AGFR (change in glomerular filtration rate, calculated as: (current GFR - initial GFR)/observation years) was estimated for several patients and its relation to various analysed protein marker levels as estimated by MS was analysed.
An exemplary result is shown on Fig. 2. Fig. 2 demonstrates that ORM1 level (indicated as protein B) as measured by MS in a urine sample may correlate with high AGFR. This suggests that a protein marker (such as ORM1 ) may indeed by utilized as a readily available and quicker prognostic tool, enabling estimation and prognosis of the rate in change in glomerular filtration rate for a given patient).
Example 3. Larger scale screening
For preliminary analysis samples from 84 patients were used. The samples were prepared and measured according to a modified, improved protocol to the one disclosed in Krzysztof Mucha, Bartosz Foroncewicz, Leszek Paczek, Flow to diagnose and follow patients with glomerulonephritis without kidney biopsy?. Polskie Archiwum Medycyny Wewnetrznej, 2016, 126(7-8):471-473.
Briefly, samples were collected from all individuals according to a uniform study protocol, following the recommendations on urine proteomic sample collection. The second- or third morning midstream urine was collected to sterile urine containers 1 to 3 h after previous urination.
Sample preparation:
Steps 1-4 are performed to concentrate protein/desalt/remove lipids and small organic/inorganic molecules.
1. 200 ul of a urine sample is transferred to Vivavon 500 Hydrosart spin-unit 10 MWCO filter.
2. The sample is centrifuge at the highest possible speed (14kG) at 20C for 30 minutes to achieve the fastest concentration also to avoid protein degradation. Flow-through is discarded.
3. 200ul of 8M solution of urea in 10OmM TEAB (Triethylammonium bicarbonate, Thermo #90114) is added to sample and spin for 20 minutes 14kG, 20 C. The step is done twice.
4. Flow-through is discarded and 1 .5ml tube is replaced with a new one.
Protein digestion:
1. The mix of enzymes LysC/Trypsin (Promega V5071) 20ug per unit is solubilized in 500ul of 8M solution of urea in 100mM TEAB.
2. 50ul of the solution was added to the spin unit and incubated for 5 hours at 37C with mild shaking (70rpm). LysC is a protease which cleaves peptide bond at C-side of lysine in a peptide. It has a unique ability to stay enzymatically active in denaturing conditions such as high urea concentration. It allows us to achieve higher peptide coverage thanks to the digestion of unfolded proteins.
3. After 5h incubation to each sample 400ul of 10OmM TEAB solution was added to dilute urea bellow 1 M, which allows trypsin to be enzymatically active. Samples are digested overnight at 37C with mild shaking.
4. Filtrating units are spin at 14kG for 30 minutes at 20C.
5. 200ul of 0.1 M NaCI in 100mM TEAB is added and samples are spin at 14kG for 30 minutes at 20C.
6. 10ul of 5%formic acid solution is added to stop digestion.
Peptides desalting:
1. Final peptide solution from step 9 is transferred to Oasis HLB 96 well-plate (Waters, 186000128).
2. Peptides are concentrated at HLB sorbent at manifold pressure (15kPa for 3minutes).
3. The sorbent is washed twice with 0.1% TFA solution.
4. Peptides are eluted in two steps: 200ul of methanol, 200ul of 80% acetonitrile/20% water.
5. Peptide solution is evaporated to dryness with SpeedVac.
Mass Spectrometry
MS analysis was performed by LC-MS in the Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry (IBB PAS, Warsaw) using a nanoAcquity UPLC system (Waters) coupled to an Orbitrap QExactive mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The resulting peptide mixtures were applied to RP- 18 pre-column (Waters, Milford, MA) using water containing 0.1% TFA as a mobile phase and then transferred to a nano-HPLC RP-18 column (internal diameter 75 mM, Waters, Milford MA) using ACN gradient (0 - 35% ACN in 180 min) in the presence of 0.1% FA at a flow rate of 250 nl/min. The column outlet was coupled directly to the ion source of Orbitrap QExative mass spectrometer (Thermo Electron Corp., San Jose, CA) working in the regime of data-dependent MS to MS/MS switch and data were acquired in the m/z range of 300-2000 The mass spectrometer was operated in the data-dependent MS2 mode, and data were acquired in the m/z range of 100-2000. Peptides were separated by a 180 min linear gradient of 95% solution A (0.1% formic acid in water) to 45% solution B (acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid). The measurement of each sample was preceded by three washing runs to avoid cross contamination. Data were analyzed with the Max-Quant (Version 1 .6.3.4) platform using mode match between runs (Cox and Mann, 2008)
Results
The goal of the data analysis was to assess the feasibility of a two-step model based on the MS data able to: (a) discriminate between patients and control group; (b) discriminate between disorders affecting patients. MS measurements covered 84 patients: 30 IgAN patients; 20 MN patients; 26 LN patients and 8 healthy controls. During the analysis, the focus was on IgAN, MN and LN patients, as the control group was separated from others. 2510 proteins were identified at 5% FDR (False Discovery Rate). In order to reduce the number of false positive identifications, a threshold of 0.1% was assumed with FDR resulting in 1659 proteins.
For each of the 1659 proteins considered in the MS analysis, W test statistic was computed (as per Wilcoxon test) for pairwise comparisons between patient groups (IgAN, MN, LN) and control group. Due to the preliminary character of the test, bootstrapped W values were not used.
The proteinograms showed distinct patterns, differentiating the control group from particular glomerulopathies (Fig. 3). Figs. 3A-D show the proteinogram patterns obtained for the four groups (control - A, IgAN - B, MN - C, LS - D). Each dot colour corresponds to a different patient. The protein with the highest levels in all graphs is serum albumin, which is a more universal marker for proteinuria. Fig. 3E shows a comparison of patterns for all four groups,
while Fig. 3F shows the comparison on a smaller scale without displaying the top values for serum albumin in order to better visualize the differences between the groups.
It is clearly visible that the proteinogram patterns can be used for reliable differentiation between groups and for identification of a particular glomerulopathy. The results were further analysed in order to identify the most useful markers to be employed in screening procedures. The proteins found to be suitable for the discrimination between patients and healthy controls and differentiation between the particular diseases are listed in Table 1 below. Table 1.

For each comparison, ten of the most extreme (most discriminating) proteins were taken obtaining 18 unique proteins (Fig. 4).
Using selected proteins a multinomial log-linear models were built via neural networks (Venables WN, Ripley B. D. (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S. Fourth edition. Springer) The full model was optimized, covering all 18 proteins, considering the Akaike Information Criterion. The resulting model employed seven proteins. Higher order effects of proteins were computed in the model to assess how intensity produced by the MS experiments affects the probability of specific disorders (Fig. 5) (Fox J, Flong J. Effect displays in R for multinomial and proportional-odds logit models: Extensions to the effects package. Journal of Statistical
Software 2009. 32:1 ; 1-24). For example, for P00450 (gene name CP), for lower intensities, a patient has the highest probability of being in group 4 (MN). On the other hand, for the highest possible values of intensities, the most probable group is 3 (IgAN).
Probabilities were additionally converted to discrete predictions (Table 2).
Table 2: Predictions, based on measured intensity for particular proteins (group 3 = IgAN, group 4 = MN, group 5 = LN)
The current model in 97% of cases differentiates between the control group and afflicted patients. Moreover, in 65,79% of cases it is able to accurately distinguish between diseases (IgAN, MN and LN). This data shows that the label-free proteomics approach enables to perform semi quantitative analysis on the basis of which proteins can be selected for further verification by means of targeted proteomics. There was very high repeatability and consistency of the data for the samples (highest to lowest: control, IgAN, MN, LN).
Among the protein markers found to be the strongest diagnostic or differentiating factors, there were no significant sequence similarities or homology. However, a large number of the selected markers share some analogous structural features, such as Ig-like domains. This is a type of protein domain that consists of a 2-layer sandwich of 7-9 antiparallel b-strands arranged in two b-sheets with a Greek key topology. This type of domains are found in hundreds of proteins of different functions. However, the protein markers found to be the most useful diagnostic factors in the study described above, were strikingly similar in the localization of their Ig-like domains and disulphide bridges, showing structural similarity despite varied amino acid sequences. Many of the selected markers have a function related to neutrophil degranulation and/or blood platelets functions.
Example 4. Development of a diagnostic model The model obtained in Example 3 was built for the second, hardest step of the analysis and differentiates between three disorders affecting patients. The rational panel design suggests limiting the amount of involved proteins. Therefore the present inventors endeavoured to develop a simpler model, discriminating between the control group and patients.
To model the relationship between the status of a patient (control/afflicted) and intensities of measured proteins, a generalized linear model (GLM) was used with a binomial error distribution and the logit link function (McCullagh P. and Nelder, J. A. (1989) Generalized Linear Models. London: Chapman and Hall). The final linear model was constructed using the backward AlC-based selection of variables (Venables, W. N. and Ripley, B. D. (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S. Fourth edition. Springer).
Further analysis of protein profile obtained in the aforementioned screening studies, permitted the isolation of at least eight potential candidate proteins, which in the most perfect way can be used to investigate the pathophysiology IgAN. Research on the role of these 8 proteins, previously unpublished, can be a basis for a novel diagnostic method. The final model, capable of reliably distinguishing between the control group and patients involves the following 5 proteins:
- P02768 (ALB, Serum albumin), measured intensity indicated herein as x1;
- P01009 (serpinal , Alpha-1 -antitrypsin), measured intensity indicated herein as x2;
- P02763 (ORM1 , Alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1), measured intensity indicated herein as x3; - P02787 (TF, Serotransferrin), measured intensity indicated herein as X4;
- P04155 (TFF1 , Trefoil factor 1), measured intensity indicated herein as x5.

The best model (with the best value of AIC criterion) involved the level of five proteins:
E = 17.205 - 5,7580 × 10-10 × x1 - 9.3798 × 10-8 × x2 + 1.3207 × 10-8 × x3 + 2.5638 × 10-8 × x4 + 4.0311 × 10-7 × x5
Where: x1: ALB x2: SERPINA1 x3: ORM1 x4: TF x5: TFF1 The model was validated using the jackknife (leave-one-out) test yielding following performance measures:
The probability of the disease can therefore be calculated using the following formula:
wherein:
E = 17.204550857965 - 5.75799550569336 * 10-10 * x1 - 9.37976121221068 * 10-9 * x2 + 1 .32966288022553 * 10-8 * x3 + 2.5638225555611 * 10-8 * x4 + 4.03113433888467 * 10-7 * x5. Example 5. Diagnostic approach
Coded urine samples derived from patients are analysed using MS and levels of five protein markers are evaluated. The analysed markers were serum albumin (ALB; P02768); alpha- 1-
antitrypsin (serpinal ; P01009); alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1 ; P02763); serotransferrin (TF; P0278) and Trefoil factor 1 (TFF1 ; P04155).
The formula
wherein:
E = 17.204550857965 - 5.75799550569336 * 10-10 * x1 - 9.37976121221068 * 10-9 * x2 + 1.32966288022553 * 10-8 * x3 + 2.5638225555611 * 10-8 * x4 + 4.03113433888467 * 10-7 * x5; wherein x1 is the determined level for serum albumin (ALB; P02768); x2 is the determined level for alpha-1 -antitrypsin (serpinal ; P01009); x3 is the determined level for alpha-1 -acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1 ; P02763); x4 is the determined level for serotransferrin (TF; P0278); x5 is the determined level for trefoil factor 1 (TFF1 ; P04155), was used to calculate the probability for each sample of being derived from the subject having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy.
For the samples classified as derived from subjects having or being at a risk of chronic kidney disease or glomerulopathy, a further classification was performed, in order to divide them in groups corresponding to a specific condition.
